Spent some time at the Topper (regulars call it The Top'). I don't remember how long, a few weeks I guess.|I had a great time there! The people who operate the place are real characters.|Brian is the Day Manager and owner. He's kinda hard to warm up to at first, but give him time and a few lines and he'll be your best friend.|Unless you're late with the rent.|Don't be late with the rent.|JB is the Drain Supervisor, Night Relief Manager, Head of Security, Entertainment Coordinator and Lot Attendant. There isn't anything he won't do to make your stay a pleasure.|And I mean anything.|True story: one night the working girls in the room next to mine were really raising a ruckus. I called Brian at the front desk to complain but I figured he'd give me some song-and-dance and that would be it.|But he was right there, right now! He immediately moved those girls out of their room and into his own.|Now that's service!|And one thing you don't have to worry about is the drainage. JB is a fanatic about keeping his drains clear. He checks in on every room, several times a night, to make sure his drains are operating properly. His presence is a real comfort at 3 in the morning, I can tell you that.|So if you want to stay at a hostelry that really gets its nose right into your business, you need to check out the Top'!
My son and I stayed for 2 nights last year and it was a great experience so we came back to the Topper motel when visiting Barstow again this year. The manager is very courteous and the room both times was very nice and greatly priced.
I really enjoy staying at the topper, it is not crowded and it's very quiet.|The rooms are clean and the staff is very accommodating. The parking lot is freshly redone with new striping throughout. I look forward to my next visit to the topper Hotel in Barstow!|
The room stayed was newly renovated with nice bed, new TV, microwave and a small fridge. It also has new flooring and you can tell much work was put into it by the new owner. Needed a place to stay at the last minute traveled through town and what a pleasant surprise and provided a much needed rest while I was there.
Tenant beverly is a beggar and drug addict, harassing everyone
It was clean once I cleaned it and they were really helpful when It came to fixing things. The wife was wonderful she always had a pleasant attitude. The husband was ok when he was in a good mood. Over all these are good people and they try to do what's needed. But when you have tenants like the ones I have seen it is also on the person who rented the room need to have some home training. It's not necessary to leave a hotel trashed, have come class and decency.
Clean n friendly services. Manager offers available rooms before deciding which room to take. Various sizes are available including queen size, king size, family rooms, studio. Extended stay is not available, because Topper already has too many long term customers.
It is under new management since the end of the last year. The owner is honest, and helpful to the motel residents. He provides clean room and furnishes new furniture. Good customer services.
A great side trip from the main road to see some cool rock formations. The off-road trail was easy to drive, and the colors and scenery were amazing. It's a nice, quiet place to explore and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
I usually find roads to be just that, but Route 66 is different. It feels melancholy, wistful. It makes me think of all the hopes, dreams, and individuals that traveled it going somewhere in search of better futures. Worth a visit, a pull over, and a
I am addicted to Mexican food and La Mesa is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to. The food is incredibly delicious. Street tacos had a lot of additions and well-seasoned meat. Sopapilla is also heavenly. If you're nearby, be sure to t
Absolutely a home town, mom and pop vibe. Loved that everyone who came in and out knew each other. And whatâs better is the food. Ordered the carnitas empanadas and sopes Al pastor. Just delicious. Meat was wonderfully tender, didnât need salsa
